I have a Facebook page that I would like to associate with a new app, so that I can have the "Go to App" button on this page. It doesn't seem like there is any way to associate a new app to an already existing page. In the app advanced settings there is only the option to Create a Page - but I don't want to create a new page, since I already have a very large following (number of Likes) on my existing page.
Any workarounds for this?
No work around I'm afraid. When Facebook first introduced the feature to "Create A Page" for an app, they let you create a Page with type "App" and let you add it to the app. It looks like this function has been removed as you have to create a new page.
But, you can use the Migrate Pages function to then combine the two pages into one, but you will lose the content on the old page when you move it to the new one.

we are creating an app for a facebook page that because of its nature, has to link to other tabs in the same page. So there is a single app that is supposed to link to 4-5 more.
I am trying to only show the parent app in the "favorites" (the place right below the cover picture) and have all the other hidden, so you can only go to them from the parent. I noticed there are 2 options when you hover over each app and click the pencil icon, "remove from favorites" and "uninstall app".
The naming suggests that removing the app from favorites does not uninstall the app from that page. However, that is not the case. After removing an app from the favorites i can no longer access it using its distinct url. So, my question is, what is the difference between these 2 actions and if there is a way to link to apps without the apps showing in the favorites!
Thanks!
So, my question is, what is the difference between these 2 actions
If you just remove the app from favorites, it’ll still show up in your page management console under “apps”, and an admin can easily re-add it as a page tab from there.
If you uninstall it, however, it’ll be completely removed from your page, even from the management section. (If this also invalidates previously issued page access tokens, I’m not sure – could be.)
and if there is a way to link to apps without the apps showing in the favorites!
No, not for page tabs.
You could set up your other apps as canvas apps – but then they woulnd’t be in the “context” of your page anymore, meaning that you can not f.e. check easily if the visiting user liked your page or not.

I am unable to create a simple facebook app. It continually says try again later. I have searched the forums, but only see posts about people trying to create the app as a "page", but I am logged in as a "user" on the master account. My account has been active for 7 years and I only have one page.
What do I have to do to get the ability to create an app?
I am simply trying to create the app so that customers can click a like button on our product pages. This is done using a pre-built extension in the Magento E-Commerce platform. All I need is the appID to plug into Magento.
Please help!
I ran into the same problem today. I was trying to create an app for my fan page for this site: http://www.cutepickuplines.info
It looks like it's an issue with Facebook. I figure it will be resolved by the end of the day. I'll report back here when I get it working.
Looks like things are working. If needed clear your browser cache or sign out before trying again.

Does anyone know who I contact to migrate an existing app to a different FB login? Or do I just create new apps under my development pages, use the new api keys and ignore the prior items?
The current admin/developer needs to get to the Developer App and add you as a new admin for the app. Then you can remove the old admin from the administrator list.
There needs at least to be one admin per app, so an admin can't remove himself from the app unless he adds a new admin who accepts the request.
Just add the new person as an administrator in the app settings and have them remove you
Don't try to remove yourself in case you do that before the other person accepts

This morning dynamically generated links to FB pages from our app stopped working. Link to a page like this http://www.facebook.com/pages/125567350861413 used to work just fine, now it requires page name http://www.facebook.com/pages/Daniels-Real-Estate/125567350861413
Why would this be changed? Was there a problem with old pages link format?
We tweaked our code to take into account page name and made it work. But if a user changes the name of a page the link to this page will break, until we refresh the list of pages in our db. We'll write a chron job that will refresh the list of page names for all users using our app multiple times a day, but we'd prefer not having to do that.
Anyone else ran into this issue? What was your workaround (other than the above)?
While this is probably an off-topic question, you can get the page url using the graph api:
http://graph.facebook.com/125567350861413 and looking at the link property. As to why Facebook changed this, you would have to ask them at their developer group or log a bug.

Facebook announced that they are about to remove app profile pages and allowing to migrate existing likes to a "regular" facebook page.
From some reason, i do not have the migration option on the top of my app profile page as it supposed to be according to their post.
I made sure to open a page with the same app name and set its category to Brands & Products / App.
What am i missing? Is there a way to activate the migration from another place (rather than this banner)?
I think not all App will get it immediately. I just have it today and have migrated my app profile page to a new page a created under Brands & Products / App.
Unfortunately, once I migrated, I don't have accessed to the old page and lost all my precious wall content... It had been a very active interaction channel between us and our fans....
Is there any channel we can feedback and vote to migrate our wall content as well?
